Well in my case, I knew about him because of BOF, as the ever charismatic Yoon Ji Hoo. And I loved him even more as Baek Seung Jo.. But at the end of the day,we all love him because he is KIM HYUN JOONG.

I agree,because we are love kim hyun joong forever! Kekeke..
ReplyDeleteI like # 1), #7)and #8) but I SUPER LOVE #3!! Hyun Joong forever!
ReplyDeleteThe first korean actor I knew was Kwan sang ho.. Glad he is in the list but my FAV and the one that got me into Kpop and Kdrama was none other than Kim Hyun Joong.. Oh man!!! I totally love this guy and everything he does... He is one AWESOME, SEXY guy!!!
ReplyDeleteHis wonderful appearance is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYes, among all these dramas mentioned the first one that I really watched was Stairway to Heaven, then noticed Kim Tae Hee's cute face and acting there. But similar with 11:09am, I only became a fangirl, quite unexpected for the first time with Kim Hyun Joong when I learned more about Kim Hyun Joong. I dropped the others I came across after BOF. There is something very special about whatever Leader does.
ReplyDeleteHe is destined for bigger things. I also learned to like SS501 also with BOF and considered kpop also and now resolved to be a Kim Hyun Joong fan forever...
I read somewhere that fans are questioning the term "movie" taking this very literally.keke The article is dated 15 April I checked and the writer is digging into each star's track record and mentioning how each started to become popular in South Korea. I understand that some countries call stars in general as movie actors just like in Latin America and so with in SK. In other countries, some may distinguish a singer from a TV actor to a movie actor.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Kim Hyun Joong is already very popular since WGM days although the first time I heard of him was in BOF.^^
